Working in his Treasure Beach salon, 87-year-old Roger Sablone grooms a small poodle from neighboring S.A.F.E. Pet Rescue on Saturday, January 6, 2018, to help get her ready for adoption. Sablone has groomed dogs professionally for 53 years and operated Pet Grooming by Roger in St. Augustine for the past 19 years. On Feb. 4, just three days before his 88th birthday, Sablone plans to retire from a lifetime of washing, grooming and pampering canine companions. Selling the salon to another groomer, Sablone plans to spend more time with his wife and occasionally hit the road on his Harley-Davidson trike.
